Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Review

Light texture and has a cooling sensation upon application. I applied a generous amount since it's not too rich/pore clogging it gets absorbed super quickly with my dehydrated face. Soaks it all up, I recommend people with dehydrated skin to use it for hydration. Reasonable price for the product would recommend to a friend if they had dry skin.

Lets cut straight to it this product does what it says, it rehydrates your skin like nothing else i have ever used, but i just can't decide if i like it. I am not sure what it is, but there is something about it that make me go yea nah. It could possibly be the smell. Its not bad or anything but to me it just smells like sunblock which is a bit weird for the more "upmarket" spectrum of the Neutrogena range, i think i was just expecting something a bit different.

It does make your skin feel lovely and plump when you first put it on, like you have walked through a light mist in the spring time. It does feel like you have to reapply it to keep up the level of moisture though but that might just be me and the environment i work in. Everyone knows air conditioning sucks out your skins moisture like a vampire sucking blood. So I will agree with its claim that it doubles skins moisture in 1 hour but i dont think it keeps going for the full 24 hours but hey thats a pretty big claim to live up to.

I found that this actually worked amazingly well on my hands too. I have quite dry "bakers" hands, like you can see all the lines on the backs of my hands along with a few burns and scars. When i put the Hydro Boost on the lines pretty much disappeared and they felt so super smooth. This is almost better as a hand cream than a face cream.

Over all yea its a good product it makes you skin feel nice and looks all young and dewy but nah i wouldn't buy it myself. Personally if i was going to buy a gel moisturiser i would buy the vitamin E one from the Body Shop, it smells nicer and i think it does a better job of holding in your skins moisture for a longer period than the Hydro Boost.

When I first got this product I was really excited to start using it. The packaging is gorgeous and the formula is light and refreshing. I am used to using a moisturiser that is a lot heavier then this and leaves my skin slightly greasy so I was shocked to feel my skin was NOT greasy after applying this. I was so surprised I applied more. I initially didn't like this because I felt it wasn't moisturizing enough, but after a couple of days I have begun to really like this cream. First of all it is cooling and amazingly refreshing. Secondly it is absorbed quickly. Great for if you are stretched for time because you can apply your makeup straight away. Thirdly it doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy. I have oily/dry combination skin, after applying this once in the morning it kept my face moisturized all day, but I also noticed my skin was less greasy at the end of the day. Which is something I can totally get used to.

At the beginning I would have given this a 1/10 now I give it 8.5

I like the jar very much, it is very convienient as it is easy to twist open and close, and it appears very unbreakable so I don't have to worry about it breaking after falling on the floor or something. I like oil free moisturizers as they don't leave my hands with greasy residue after applying, but this gel disppears completely as it probably all got absorbed in my skin, so this gel gets absorbed very fast and easily, totally mess-free application. The scent is average, nothing special or different about it, it doesn't have a really strong smell. The texture feels very creamy and soft, it looks transparent on my face and glides along it very smoothly, and I don't have to worry about accidently applying too much onto my skin and leaving too much grease on ym face as it gets absorbed very well. This product is gentle on skin and it moisturizes but I tried applying foundation after applying the gel thinking that it'd be fine but my skin still flakes.

This trial couldn't of come at a better time for me, my skin is dry from the change of season, my nose is red from a cold, my eyes are itchy and dry from hayfever! So a hydration boost is excatly what the doctor ordered! I haven't used much neutrogena before and never ever even heard of a gel instead of a cream so I'm totally excited to get into this beautiful blue jar of hydration gel!

First impressions are good, great package lovely colours and opens easily with a second "lid" To keep the gel safely inside. Smells lovely, a light scent that doesn't overpower you. Now the gel itself is thinner than I expected but feels lovely and it's easy to apply I face an neck like the instructions say and drys fast and doesn't leave your skin oily which I love !! Product says It should be an hour and I'll have double the Moisture in my skin... Well it does feel good so that's great! I trialed this for well over a week and I have to say all those dry patches I had from weather, hayfever, red nose have dramatically improved using this product every night after cleansing. When' my nose was quite sore and red the gel did iratate it so I didn't use it there for a few days.

I'm really happy with this gel. Loved that it wasn't oily and it really did do as it said. Hydration and moisture were achieved by me ;-)

I've used for over a week and haven't even made a dent in the jar so a little goes a long way, which at this price you need it to go far ;-)

I am really enjoying this product its very hydrating but doesn't make my skin go oily throughout the day. This product has a gel type texture and a cool refreshing feeling to the face when first applied and a little bit goes a long way.

I would use this product again, I do really like it as it doesn't make my face go oily (working in a hospital all day) however I feel the price might be a bit high for some especially students but overall I would recommend this product especially for summer.

Love love love this product. I have very dry sensitive skin so was rather anxious to try this product. I have used twice a day for 8 days now and have had nothing but great results. My skin is more hydrated and feels so much smoother. Only let down for this product is no SPF in there for sun protection. Would defiantly use again

Feels nice, has a silky, cool, refreshing feel - not greasy at all and makes your skin feel soft. However, my face started to break out after a few days so stopped using it on my face and thought may as well try it on my legs. Usually normal moisturiser disappears after a couple of hours and my legs are left looking dry again. Using this stuff on my legs - they didn't dry out all day! So, at the end of the day, would I buy it for my face? No, I'll stick to the one I'm using now which doesn't make me break out like a high school kid, but if they have a body moisturiser I would seriously consider buying it.

I found the Hydro boost gel made my skin feel lovely and soft. Most of the time I could just use the gel as my only moisturiser and some days I had to put another moisturiser over the top. I really liked the clean smell of the product.

The packaging of this moisturizer is really appealing. It's fresh, blue, even luxurious to feel. I tend to have dry and dehydrated skin and wasn't sure if gel moisturizers are for me. But one thing's for sure. I'm impressed by how it held up. The water gel is easily absorbed. You'll instantly feel the hydration. As for the claims, I think that is overrated. I had to reapply after a few hours in order for my skin to stay hydrated. I'd suggest this to normal to oily skin types as it is lightweight. Drier types will need to go somewhere else. Overall, I think it's a good moisturizer, but it's just not for me.
